Code:

Monitor temperature of compost accurately.
Features a 2" diameter dial, 24" stainless steel stem and temperature range of +10 to 90°C (+50 to 190°F).

Npk Soil Test Kit

Code:

Specifically designed to meet the needs of the GLOBE program, this kit contains enough materials for 50 tests. Includes non-hazardous tablets, instructions and laminated color chart. Test for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Soil pH Test Kit

Code:

This popular pH soil kit highlights the need for accurate pH testing to determine lime requirements and to ensure soil fertility. Includes: chemical indicator, color comparator chart, plastic spot plate, instructions, and soil test handbook.
Enough materials for 100 pH tests. Test for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Soil Test Kit

Code:

Grades 4 - 6; 40 tests.
Soil testing can't get much easier than this. Mix soil with water, let it settle, add a tablet, and compare the liquid to the color film chart. Includes: instructions and materials for 10 tests each of pH, nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.

Biology and Chemistry of Soil Kit

Code:

For 50 students.
Conduct a thorough evaluation of soil with ordinary soil samples your students can dig up anywhere. We introduce simple, easy-to-follow techniques and staining procedures early on so your students can get the most out of these activities. Soon they're able to identify the type and variety of microorganisms, calculate soil fertility by a cation exchange capacity elimination, test and determine soil pH, and correlate the soil's pH to soil lime requirements.

Kit includes:
12 chem-plates; 12 calibrated tubes; 4 drop-controlled bottles Phenolic Rose Bengal; 3 drop-controlled bottles Barium Chloride solution; 2 drop-controlled bottles of pH Soil Indicator solution; 1 drop-controlled bottle of Potassium Dichromate solution; 50 plastic slides; 50 plastic cups; 50 worksheets and guides; instruction manual with MSDS

The Topsoil Tour

Code:

This classroom favorite is an exciting introduction to the physical and chemical properties of soil. Each student completes seven units while performing individual tests with safe and easy-to-use tablets. Includes: curriculum materials, reagent tablets, and sample bags for 50 students.
Grades 4 - 8.

Nitty Gritty Soil Science Kit

Code:

Discover the importance of composting - even develop an eye for an earthworm - with this interesting introductory kit. You'll learn what healthy plants require in terms of soil texture, pH levels and nutrients while performing tests using non-hazardous TestTab reagent tablets. We provide instructions and materials to perform 10 tests each of pH, Nitrate, Phosphate and Potassium.

What's In The Soil? Kit Part I

Code:

Kit contains enough materials for 30 students working in pairs.
Test for the presence of 10 nutrients and minerals in ordinary soil samples and learn why they are essential for plant growth. Compare soil samples. This kit highlights water content, organic matter and pH, too.

What's In The Soil? Kit Part II

Code:

Kit contains enough materials for 30 students working in pairs.
Have your students culture their own soil microbes to get the real scoop on life beneath the earth's surface. Your group will collect and extract different soil samples, then record the number and types of organisms found.

Backpack Lab - Soil Quality

Code:

Using the Agricultural Combination Test Kit as its foundation, the Soil Quality Education Test Kit is designed to provide a complete unit for teachers and introduce students to important chemical tests for evaluating soil quality and fertility, and relate these measurements to the principles of plant metabolism. Tied together by an extensive Teacher's Guide, this kit includes in-depth background information about each parameter, has classroom activities designed to introduce students to each parameter, and contains detailed field-testing procedures.
